German Air Force Museum

　　The German Air Force Museum is situated at the former Berlin-Gatow military airfield and serves as a branch of the Military History Museum in Berlin. Managed and operated as an independent military entity, the museum offers free admission to visitors.

　　The German Air Force Museum showcases the history of military aviation and the air force from its inception to the present, with a particular focus on the history of the Luftwaffe during the Nazi era. The airport runway, hangars, and barracks to the south once formed the "Leadership Training Base" used for training officers and commanders between 1934 and 1935. At the former Gatow airfield, hangars, and the tower now belonging to the museum, visitors can see a vast array of military aircraft and air defense systems on display dating back to World War I, such as the Bf109. Another highlight of the exhibition is the jointly compiled history of the German Air Force and the National People's Army, from their opposition to the period after German reunification in 1990. The museum houses a collection of over 200,000 items, including 155 aircraft, 5,000 sets of uniforms, and 30,000 military books—truly a comprehensive classroom for understanding the German Air Force.
